FAUX-K-STORIES: MARRIAGE CONTRACT #7-2 Destiny? Part 2/2

Faux-K-stories are intended for the purpose of satire, parody, and criticism. None of the depictions of characters and events are true. While the specific show “Marriage Contract” is used as the basis, many elements of other Korean dramas are used as reference. Read at your own peril.

From the outside, it would not be a
bad bet to assume Kang Hye-Soo had some ill motives. This is especially true
when you fast forward and see what she is willing to do when put in a desperate
situation. However, when you see the number of random events that had to occur
in order to get Kang Hye-Soo in front of the car, you may think differently.
For one, Han Ji-hoon shouldn’t have been driving the car. He had a driver after
all. However, he had left something at his girlfriend’s hotel room after a
tumble under the sheets and had to send his driver in the car to retrieve it
before she got rid of it. You don’t know what she would do since he broke up
with her after sex. This was not the first shag and dump he had done. Last
time, it was a big mess.

Interview:

---Miss K, Actress and Former Lover of Han Ji-hoon

└ Han Ji-hoon …?

F*** Him! You know what he did? He dumped me on our 100th
day anniversary! Also, it was just after me had sex! .That bastard! Who does
that ass think he is?

…

…

You know what that does to my reputation? I just was
spreading the rumor that we were dating! That f**K! And I even let him do…

You know…

You know…

“Back door” stuff!

And he just dumps me with a cheap as neckless.

I thought of throwing it as his arrogant ass when he walked
out but I’m not stupid. You know he has a small d**k and is terrible in bed?

Yes he is! I had to fake organism because he was so fast
and selfish in bed. I stayed because I loved hin…Ass! ┘

In addition, Han Ji-hoon would have
missed almost running over Kang Hye-Soo if not for his mother calling with her
usually rant about his father. In addition, the cat that lured the girl on to
the streets should never had been in that location. That cat named “Mr. Whitey”
was neither a street cat nor lived around there. Mr. Whitey actually was lost
after wondering away from his owner who had taken him on a walk downtown that
day. He really had no idea where he was when the girl chased him in front of
that car. However, the coincidences does not end there. Oh and Mr. Whitey was
fine and got out of dodge fast.

Interview:

---Park Jo-joon, Childhood friend and
general manager of the restaurant “The Promise”

└Kang Hye-Soo… I was not really going to hire her in the
first place. She was a single mother and her resume was problematic since she
kept moving from restaurant to restaurant. At “The
Promise,” we require a level of dedication to one’s job especially with the
kitchen staff. I felt sorry about her situation with her husband dying and
having to raise a daughter alone. However, Kang Hye-Soo seemed to not have what
we require at “The Promise.” Can you
imagine how thing would have turned out if I just didn’t hire her when she came
in for an interview? A lot would have changed. Some for the better. Others for
the worst I guess.

Why did I hire her? Well one of our kitchen support staff
had an accident and we were left a person short. It seems that she was going home
on her scooter after a shift here at “The
Promise” when a white cat jumped in front of her scooter. She tried to avoid
the cat and was tossed off. Cats… there are too many street cats roaming around
nowadays. It can be dangerous.

…

White cat..

If I think about it, a white cat came up on conversation that
day too! It was on the day when Han Ji-hoon told me of his plans. As a side
note, I had nothing to do with it. He just told me in a hypothetical situation after
all. I had no idea he was serious! I am a law-abiding citizen.I pay all my
taxes and don’t even litter!

In any case, Kang Hye-Soo over heard this conversation between
my boss… his name is Han Ji-hoon and me about a hypothetical situation. She was
closing up the restaurant at the time. The funny thing is that that was not her
job. We usually have another girl do that but she had to go home early because
the white cat she adopted was sick and needed to get it looked at. So, I let Kang
Hye-Soo do some overtime since she was the newbie. ┘

---End of Interview

What no one knows was that the white
cat that somewhat keeps invading our story was in fact all the same cat “Mr. Whitey.”

Interview:

---Mr. Whitey, the cat

└ …

…meow

…

…meow? ┘

---End of Interview

Unbeknownst to Mr. Whitey,the cat, who
was just sick after he ate something he should have, he was the agent of fate
in this circumstance. He was the one that caused the accident with the scooter.
He was the cat that got sick. An employee of “The Promise” had rescued him off the
streets when he was wondering around looking for food.

Interview:

---Madam ?, Traditional mystic located in Seobinggo-dong

└

Let’s see what the ancestors say…

Yes… I feel it. I can feel the ancestors giving me a
vision.

“I have to catch a runaway virgin ghost who is possessing young
men’s bodies…?”

It seems that the ancestors got their wires crossed. That
was a different vision.

Interview:

---Ah Gong-mi, Famous fortune teller

└

Don’t listen to those con-artists! I mean those old fashion
Korean mystics. They just want to take your money. Tarot cards are the best way
of seeing what fate has in store for you.

Let’s see…

You have a woman… she has a child…And she is very ill
fortunate.

I see a lot of death and pain in her past.

Her future…?

I see love…

I see wealth… and destiny! It is destiny! The woman…is not
smart enough to pull off anything too elaborate.

┘

---End of Interview

With this knowledge, how would you
answer the question of fate or gold digging? I’ll give you a hint. Kang Hye-Soo
is a “Candy” albeit somewhat of a variation. The standard “Candy” doesn’t have
a child. It is obvious now. Even an alternate version of a “Candy” is a magnet
for the whims of destiny. It seems to be attracted to void of “agency” they
always have surrounding them. Also that fact that they are not particularity intelligent
nor wise also makes them vulnerable to the pranks of fate.
